Hopefully, the new PERS-47 facebook page becomes a good place for that conversation - especially if BOTH the detailer and OCM are able to use that site to engage with the broader team.

If there's enough interest, we "could" also create a private/secret group on FB to have open/unclassified discussions (verifying that all members of the closed group are actually IWOs - or CWOs (which for 1810s, I guess, means Cryptologic Warfare Officer - not Chief Warrant Officer (like it does for the rest of the Navy)) - like you both eluded to, most of the conversation on this forum has quieted down recently.

For what it's worth, there's a pretty good conversation going on about the name change (and other topics) on the FB page right now: https://www.facebook.com/Pers472/. Seems like there is ALSO an effort by senior community leadership to ENGAGE with the entire wardroom (you'll notice a reply by the officer who will ultimately make this decision). Join in and provide your feedback/perspective!

I have an irrational and unfounded affinity for these types of forum sites. I feel like I can start a thread to discuss a particular topic or bring up an issue here easier than on a blog format where the discussions are nested under and framed by longer essays/articles. Not to say your format doesn't serve a purpose or isn't effective. It's simply different.

For me, it is easier to find topics / threads a forum type format than a blog format (i.e. Station Hypo). What is being produced seems to be good, but I like the categorization of a forum (provided posters stay on topic) to using a search bar or scrolling through the history of a blog.

Thanks for the feedback. And honestly, I agree these are two very different types of forums. But, considering some of the posts, and the comments below each, would you be willing to engage in a conversation there? Not to replace a site like this, but as another place to have the conversation.

Absolutely.

While at USCYBERCOM, the site was not accessible via NIPR. At my new station, I still cannot access it (not that I spend work time on the internet) but that may be part of my ongoing 'new guy' IT issues.
